We are in full swing with the Quilter's Affair and The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. The most amazing thing you need to know about The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show is...it's Free!!! Over 10,000 visitors come to view this one-day outdoor show.

"It is the mission of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show™ to educate the public about the art, skill, and heritage of traditional and contemporary quilts and fiber arts, while enhancing the cultural vitality of the community of Sisters and Central Oregon."

The show is supported by a variety of fundraisers and supporters. One of the most amazing fundraisers is the Wish Upon A Card exhibit and silent auction. Anyone can make a post card and donate it to this event for sale. The instructors of the Quilter's Affair have long been supporters of this fundraiser which raises funds for The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show and the SOQS Arts Scholarship Fund. The cards, which are made by The Quilter's Affair instructors, are framed by Myrna of https://www.highdesertframeworks.com/. Her generosity of talent and time are truly the foundation of this amazing fundraiser. When it comes to framing, she is an artist!!! I found a letter written by my grandmother (who I never met) and although it was written to my mother and father, the message of love resonated with me. I had one framed photograph of her and the letter. I asked Myrna to use the same creativity that she brings to the Wish Upon A Card framing...OMG...it is absolutely beautiful and I had to share it with you!

She dropped a hint when I picked up my beautifully framed family heirloom that my postcard turned out wonderful...well, I had to sneak over to the Sisters High School where the cards are on display for the silent auction to see it all framed up. I was in awe of all the wonderful cards which you will see on a Quilt Roadies video. But I have to say my card is sweet and beautifully framed. If you are in Sisters you can bid on the card, or there is a Buy It Now price. We shall see how much my card raises, but I swear Myrna's framing really makes the card sing!



Stay tuned for more excitement from Sisters, Oregon!
